With Nissan North America, announced the upcoming Nissan Leaf of the battery pack will be 8 years or 100,000 miles (161,000 km) warranty. North America Adds a scenic landscape electric vehicles.

Nissan introduced measures this warranty and is expected to fall this year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric compact car warranty match.

Leaf fully electric five mini-car, is scheduled to arrive in December a number of specific market dealer. Leaf’s priced at 32,780 dollars. However, commitment by the federal government to buy electric cars for consumers 7500 U.S. dollars of tax credits, making the price of the equivalent of leaf reduced to 25,280 dollars.

The next electric car sold in the U.S. will be the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Mitsubishi spokesman Daniel arap Moi - Durand said it will debut in autumn 2011, the current manufacturers do not like the maintenance period of the discussion.

Smart models similar situation, in October test vehicles will reach the United States, but two Fortwo electric cars will have to wait until at least 2012, on sale in the United States.

Dollar price of 101 500 Tesla Roadster sports car, the only in the sales of electric cars, bumper to provide 3 years or 36,000 miles (58,000 km) warranty. However, the premise is, however, the time of purchase to pay 12,000 U.S. dollars, buyers can have 8 years to replace the battery after the permissions.

Any console gamer will tell you wireless controllers rock — but it’s not unusual to go through a bunch of batteries each year. Chances are, you use rechargeable batteries, which are easier on the wallet (over time) and the environment.
A new rechargeable battery is on the market –USBCell from Moixa — that promises to make it even easier to charge up when not in use.

As the name suggests, these AA batteries recharge through a built-in USB connection, cleverly located under the hinged cap.

Therefore, you can use it like a regular battery in your game controller (or other gadgets and toys, of course) and then charge them up anywhere you’ve got a USB port, such as a laptop. No cables or charging docks are required.

While we haven’t tried out the USBCell yet ourselves, these rechargeable batteries ($17.99 for a 2-pack) are said to charge to 90 percent in 5 hours, while just 1 hour of charging yields about 50 percent of power. A small LED light shows when the battery is charging, and different colors for when it’s at 90 percent and fully charged.

These NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries can be reused “hundreds of times” before they need to be replaced, says Moixa.

Concept is gaining in popularity as a low-carbon, the battery can lead to a growing concern.

Used batteries and more pollution

Used batteries a potential pollution has aroused extensive attention. China is the world’s number one battery production and consumption of power, has information that China currently has more than 1,400 battery manufacturers, battery production capacity in 1980 over the United States and ranks first in the world. China’s battery production in 1998 reached 14 billion, while the world total production of dry batteries is about 30 billion.

Such a large number of batteries, making a great problem is exposed, that is, how much pollution the batteries do not destroy our environment. If the one on the 1st cell in the ground rotting, it’s toxic substances can make one square meter of land lost value; throw a coin cell battery into the water, it contains toxic substances which cause pollution of 600,000 liters of water body , water equivalent to a person’s life; used batteries contain cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc, manganese, which cadmium, lead, mercury is more harmful substances the human body.

Therefore, the collection and disposal of used batteries is very important, if disposed of improperly, may be on the ecological environment and serious harm to human health. While advanced technology has given us the right direction, but my battery is still not optimistic pollution phenomenon. Currently most of our garbage is mixed with used batteries be buried underground, over time, after conversion to battery decay, leaching of heavy metals, both can contaminate groundwater, they may contaminate the soil, eventually, by various means into the human food chain. Biological uptake of heavy metals from the environment through food chain biomagnification, step by step in the higher organisms, thousands of times more enriched, and then enter the human body through the food chain, and in some organs of savings cause chronic poisoning, Japan Minamata disease is a typical case of mercury poisoning.

Thin film solar cells Cheng Xinchong

When the domestic war battle it polysilicon when the feast of thin film solar cells already quietly open seats. Photovoltaic power generation field, as the two main “master”, crystalline silicon cells and thin film batteries, seems to pull a Competition.

As the name suggests is the layer of thin film battery into the solar cell thin films, the silicon is extremely rare and easier to reduce costs, while it is both an efficient energy products, but also a new type of building material, more easily with the perfect combination of architecture. Silicon raw materials in the international market against the background of continued tension, thin film solar cells has become the international PV market development trends and hot spots.

Although thin film solar cells have already emerged, but conversion efficiency is low, attenuation ratio were higher, a few years ago did not attract enough attention from the industry, market share is low. With its technological advances in photoelectric conversion efficiency is rapidly increasing, now more than two years ago increased to about 30% -40%, although still in comparison with crystalline silicon cells have very different, but the use of less materials, simple process low energy consumption, costs are certain advantages, more and more accepted by the industry.

Corresponding to this, following the hot solar modules, polysilicon fever, film photovoltaic cell has become the new investment hot spot areas.

Compared with crystalline silicon cells, thin film cells is much greater potential for cost reduction, driven by rapid technological progress in thin film batteries. Thin-film solar capacity may be the next to reach 20% of the entire solar energy industry, while only 7.6% in 2007, shows that among the space.

Yesterday morning, the City Urban Management Committee and the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau in Guangzhou City sanitation sprinkler teams handled the transfer of waste batteries work, where the storage of 12 tons of used batteries from Guangdong Province, treatment and disposal of hazardous waste franchise organizations - Huizhou Dongjiang Veolia Ya Environmental Services Ltd., for sound processing.

It is understood that the environmental protection department entrusted by the city, Guangzhou City sanitation sprinkler team since 2003, began more than three-star city hotel, primary and secondary schools, some universities, kindergartens and other units of the obligation to collect waste batteries. Guangzhou this year, a comprehensive classification of the work undertaken to promote garbage collection since the used batteries and other harmful waste are temporary here. According to city environmental protection departments, the current collection of used batteries to store 12 tons will be transferred to Huizhou Dongjiang Veolia Environmental Services Limited, harmless treatment.

Dow Jones reported that General Motors on July 14 in his battery factory in Michigan held a news conference to formally announce its Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid lithium group warranty program.

GM global electronic system Micky Bly, managing director, said in a statement: “General introduction of the warranty program is to enable consumers Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid with more confidence.”

Basically the core issue of purchasing a laptop to splurge on vehement or high-speed gaming lies in the matter of the CPU processor. It is possible that you may get overwhelmed with all the available selections of processor and its upgrade in the market. If you find your laptop acting slower or not approaching your expected speed then you may want to consider of getting a new processor to upgrade your old. But before you select right processor for upgrade, remember to look at the socket form of your laptop. This task can be done using several free programs on the internet such as Lavalys and Everest. The most common ones are the Socket M or P.

Although the socket type may not influence the performance, being aware of it could help to determine the most compatible type of processors for your laptop. Take an example that your slot is the Socket M. You may find your head spinning or cracking out of nothing due to plethora of processors as well as the specifications available to you. However, to upgrade processor you need not consider the overall specs as there are only few significant ones you should take into account. Firstly, it is certainly the processor’s brand. Even within Intel itself, you have several types such as Celeron and Pentium.

Most laptops will function with Pentium M, Celeron or Core 2 processors. The latter is literally more superior. Next is to consider the clock speed. Generally the range is between one to three GHz and higher number indicates better speed. The clock speed is actually the real speed of the processor. But these factors do not work independently, as there may be circumstances where the Core 2 processor can perform better than the Celeron processor with a higher clock speed. Other factors that may affect the performance of a CPU processor are the Cache and Core count. The dual core processor is capable of doubling the clock speed so if you happen to buy the Core 2 Duo laptop with a 2.17 GHz clock speed, the real speed is actually 4.34 GHz. However, not all games or programs can support the dual-core so you need to look out for compatibility factor.

For those who intend to upgrade processor for more power, dual core should be appropriate although the Quad Core processors are available but way pricier than the dual type. Cache, on the other hand, functions as a buffer between your RAM and the processor. The faster your Cache is, your laptop will perform faster. In such economical times, price is said to be most prominent factor for all consumers. Do not be trapped by the high prices but always look for the most suitable components for your laptop.

Participating in the chemical and physical power by the Chinese Association hosted the 2010 China International Battery Seminar, listened to foreign companies and experts in view of the battery industry and the latest developments at home and abroad.

Energy security is the new car manufacturers and battery manufacturers to consider the elements of the first recognized. Although the battery cathode material based solutions have been material progress, in theory, the current long battery safety compliance program; but comparing laptop, cell phone battery explosion probability per million, the current high-power battery production scale enough to test the effect has not yet reached the degree of probability; some research also shows that when consumers buy cars for the safety of new energy vehicles also have reservations about. Meeting of the Japan, the United States, Germany, China and other major new energy car manufacturers, battery makers say security is their top priority considered, Japan’s Toyota, Nissan and other enterprises, especially Stress them in this area good operating records and experience. At the same time the U.S. and Japan have in their funds in the training of new energy vehicles for consumers the basic knowledge and use of the Code project.

Face to guide policy and national financial support. United States, Japan and Europe by road emissions regulations limit consumer purchases of motor vehicles on the one hand, laws and regulations will be limited to a fine of from to choose energy-efficient cars, on the other hand, Japan, European countries and U.S. states have different levels of subsidies and tax policy. Guidance from the national level, Japan and the United States to do better. Led by the NEDO of Japan, unified planning, and then funds are disbursed to various sectors of the industry chain (including companies and universities), so that the parties at the national level to achieve strategic unity. The United States has ARRA, enterprises and universities to apply for the State means the fund for financial support. China is not a unified platform for building and also may cause blind over-investment. It has been revealed in the second half will have a specific plan put new energy vehicles, including specific support for the direction and financing.

The United States located in the basic research and development, Japan and South Korea located in the battery manufacturing and processing, China located in the battery material. From the current trends, we believe that the United States in the battery and materials start as early as basic research, innovative well, and this advantage will remain. Japan and South Korea have experience in battery manufacturing and accumulation, the battery industry sectors in the manufacturing process is particularly crucial, Japan and South Korea in this regard has inherent advantages. In recent years, production costs passed on, the battery company in China became South Korea’s raw material base. China’s lithium resources are natural advantages, and in battery manufacturing is gradually entering the first. We believe that this trend, a new energy future global demand for automotive batteries will eventually come from Chinese-made battery materials.

The performance of battery materials continuously upgrade value car companies have chosen to remain stable and continuous supply. The conference invited speakers can be highly representative of the global battery industry direction, we observed lead-acid batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries, lithium batteries, cathode materials and electrolyte are different levels of research breakthroughs. The car battery business, and enterprises, the maturity of commercial product launches, the first is the need to ensure safety and reliability, they will tend to choose stable performance, batch to batch consistency of good material suppliers.

China’s 2012 target: reduce the cost ¥ 2/Wh battery or below, the energy density increased to 120Wh/kg or more, the power density increased to 1000W/kg or more, cycle life 2000 times.

Battery energy storage system applications. Battery manufacturers to actively seek opportunities for high-energy lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries for energy storage of renewable energy systems, Japan has been preparing for the future in this test run 1MW energy storage system.

According to South Korean media reports, South Korean investment in the next ten years up to 15 trillion won (about 12.5 billion U.S. dollars) that in the global rechargeable battery market dominance. South Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy said South Korea’s Samsung and LG in the global rechargeable battery market, currently has a 38% market share, but the rechargeable batteries used in components and technology, the actual market share of Korean companies less than 20%.

According to report, with the mobile information technology products, electric cars and convenient storage batteries and other areas, environmental protection growing demand for energy, rechargeable lithium batteries is expected over the next decade the global market size will be 12.3 billion U.S. dollars this year, based on the growth of five times, to 77.9 billion USD.

As of 2009, South Korea, Japan and Chinese companies control the global rechargeable battery production 95% market share, Japan’s Sanyo to 20% of the market share leading position, ahead of Samsung SDI and the subsequent share 19% of the respective LG Chem market share. Sony and BYD, respectively with 12% and 7% of market share.

It is reported that South Korean government said that if the progress of research and development projects as scheduled, South Korean technological capabilities should be able to meet the current industry leader in the 80% level, South Korean battery manufacturers in the global market share will amount to 50%.
